Respected Brazilian coach Tiago Nunes insists Bruno Guimaraes is the best player he has ever worked with. Newcastle United shelled out £35million to lure the highly-rated midfielder from Lyon in January.
Since the move, the 24-year-old has emerged as the latest cult hero at St James’ Park. A new-found goalscoring ability combined with silky midfield displays have endeared the Brazilian to Toon supporters.
Guimaraes has forged a strong rapport with compatriot Joelinton while all but cementing - barring injury - his place in Brazil’s squad for the upcoming World Cup. While little was known about the midfielder’s talents in England before this year, one man who knows him best always drooled over his ability.
